In response to inquiries Harbor.
master Spier of Portland submitted

entire from the works of Ktigene
Field was extremely well rendered
and was enjoyed by all. The se

were esccially well delivered and
received with great applause. The
hit of the evening, however, was
made, not by the graduating class,
but by Master Verne Hall, who
gave the selection, "Sceiu' Things

darkened stage dressed for bed and
gave his selection in a way that
impressed all with the fact that
children actually do "see things"

Three Omues Played Here Last
Sunday.
Notwithstanding the fact that
Charlie Moore's aggregation of ball
, players were at Astoria battling
j with the salmon cuuticrs there were
I three games of ball in the city hist
Sunday. That is, some of it was
called base ball,
I The St. Johns Second Nine and
the Wood lawn Wabashes met at
Hill's park at 10 o'clock in the
morning and played ffve innings of
what was to have been a nine inning
; game. With two runs to the good
I the visitors suddenly thought of a
date they had to keep with Van
couver at the end of the fifth inning,
and quietly folded up their belong
ings and struck out for the Wash
ington town. Had they remained
the locals would have trimmed
them a-plenty.
The Frakes and the Ilrewers
played on alleged game of ball at
Hill's park in the afternoon. In
fact there were two games. The
other was between the Trtinkniak
ers and the Iiralnard Cubs
nut that Frakes-IJrewers game
was enough to make the national
sport die an awful death. Hoth
teams were about as fast as molas
ses in January and the individual
playing was something fierce. Some
of the spectators stood it as long as
the fifth inning. Others sat the
game out. The agony ended by a
score of 12 to 10 in favor of the
Krakes.
The Brainard Cubs and Trunk
makers game was something better
thau the opening performance.
The Cubs took a brace and won
the game by the score of 7 to 2.
The St. Johns nine played at
Astoria winning the game, the
score' standing 6 to 2 in favor of
the locals.

The address of Judge Frnzer of
the Portland Juvenile court was
well received. The "children's
judge" told the class that while the
class motto "We angle for the
honors and the sweets of human
life," was a good one, still they
should use care as to how the ang
ling was done, and that they should
above nil else learn and exercise
self control, as this was necessary
to secure respect.

made a few introductory remarks
in which he told the old story of

Professor Alderson asked "the

he had reference to Mrs. G. M.

Ilessie Hughes then stepped for
